KYB Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:553306

Steady out your Mercedes-Benz ride with the KYB shock absorber 553306, a Gas-a-just high-pressure monotube unit that installs as a rear OE monotube replacement for the 2001-2005 C240, 2001-2005 C320, 2002-2005 C230, 2005-2006 C55 AMG, 2006-2007 C280, and 2006-2007 C350. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine for your exact vehicle.

  • High-pressure monotube design: two separate working chambers — an air-free hydraulic piston and valve area for responsiveness and control, plus a high-pressure nitrogen gas area with a floating piston that separates the gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response.
  • Triple chrome-plated piston rod: an ultra-smooth rod helps reduce seal wear, since fluid leaking can be a cause of shock failure.
  • Quick response: the higher gas pressure responds quickly to help improve steering response.
  • Built for demanding use: designed for vehicles that work, tow, and run larger, heavier tires and wheels.

KYB offers this Gas-a-just as the correct monotube-designed OE replacement intended to help restore the designed control and handling of your C-Class. Because electronic safety systems rely on the suspension, brakes and tires operating as the vehicle manufacturer intended, it helps keep those systems performing as designed. Shocks are sold individually; order two to replace the rear axle as a matched pair for balanced ride and handling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this KYB shock fit my Mercedes-Benz C-Class?

Yes — it's a rear replacement for the 2001-2005 C240 and C320, 2002-2005 C230, 2005-2006 C55 AMG, and 2006-2007 C280 and C350. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube KYB gas shock absorber?

It's a high-pressure monotube. The design separates the nitrogen gas and oil for fade-free operation and instant response, per KYB.

How many should I order?

Shocks are sold individually. Order two to replace the rear axle as a matched pair for balanced, even ride and handling.

What are signs my shocks may need replacing?

Signs include fluid leaking from the shock body, a bouncy or unsettled ride, excessive body roll, or uneven tire wear. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

How does the higher gas pressure affect steering?

KYB says the higher gas pressure of the Gas-a-just responds quickly to help improve steering response, while the triple chrome-plated piston rod runs smooth to help reduce seal wear.
